AT&T's 32GB Galaxy S4 lands May 10 for $249

AT&T has announced that will sell the 32-gigabyte version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 starting May 10. It'll run $249 on contract, compared to the $199 currently charged for the 16GB model.

On-board storage has been a hot-button issue for the Galaxy S4, which until now has only been available in a 16GB configuration -- with only about 9 gigabytes of storage actually available to the user. The 32GB model should ease GS4 buyers' storage concerns, and of course it's also expandable via microSD card, just like the 16GB version.

AT&T is the first outlet we're aware of to launch a 32GB Galaxy S4. No other U.S. carriers are offering the more capacious variant, and right now the only international models available ship with 16GB of storage. Have you been waiting on the 32GB Galaxy S4, or have you already dropped some cash on a 16GB model? Shout out in the comments and let us know.

Really, do you have an S4? I have had it since it was available at AT&T and I have not seen any overheating. It might just be your phone and something you are running. Also what you might call gimmicky others might find it useful, there is something for everyone, I don't see where someone will ever use all these features, but I think most of these features will find someone who wants to use them.

I have the S4 and while mine did have a little lag I turned off animations in developer options and that did the trick. As for over heating, surprisingly I have not had one issue of over heating on this where as on the GS3 I had it all the time. Hell even on the One I had over heating issues.

Totally agree with you on this one. Rarely (if ever) does the phone get hot. Features works great. Sometimes the pause while you look away feature doesn't work, but overall, it's hands down the best phone out there.

I hope so too! I have an upgrade availalbe at the end of May an will not buy the 16GB version. Hoping that one of these come to VZW:
- HTC One (Or whatever they call the VZW variant - DNA+..)
- Nexus 4 (waiting for Google I/O announcment)
- Samsung Galaxy S4 32GB (Hope this happens)

I am sure any of the three would be great phones to have in 2013 and it to 2014.

Yes that is my hope also. A 32gb s4 on TMO. You may want to see if the AT&T variant will work on Verizon network and buy it outright. I was going to do that but TMO confirmed I would only have 2g or Lte coverage and nothing else with att version. I will wait for the new nexus also if TMO doesn't deliver. The rumored specs are better than the s4

yeah definitely good news for the AT&T's customer who are going to buy Samsung Galaxy S4 with more storage(32 GB). But it will be more competitive if Samsung+AT&T announce the 32 GB S4 only $199.00 and 16GB only $149.00 of course they should make it more exciting.

Their should be a law phones that are 16gb should have 16gb of user space not 9gb same with 32gb but i only get 25 gb of space its BS if you ask me why the hell are these phones sucking up 5-7 gb and i havent even turned it on yet the biggest roms i see are only 1gb and why do 32gb sd cards only have 27gb of space i never understood how you can sell something so miss labeled the true user space should be advertised not what it might have been

Well AT&T, you got my money, I ordered my Optimus G Pro on Saturday, full retail no contract $549.99. Now I am sure this is what $689 or higher so I'll pass. Same processor, slightly larger screen and still 1080p, plus I returned all of my S4 stuff last week since I was told it would be months out.

I also don't see Verizon carrying it, they have said they are only getting the 16GB, but who knows if users are so unhappy as we know they are Verizon may just change its mind.

AT&T has some great devices, they seem to be getting exclusives on all the prime hardware. I'm hoping T-Mobile gets the SGS4 in the 32gb model. I refuse to buy a top of the line device with a pathetic 8.8gb of int memory. All these people who keep saying "JUST" buy a sd card obviously don't know sh-- about the Jelly Bean OS. Apps and very large games can not be downloaded to the sd card unless the phone is rooted and hacked. The people who are doing all the suggesting to just buy the sd card do not even root or hack their phones. Learn your OS.

Be real careful, the AT&T SGS4 has a locked bootloader and no recovery, you can get it rooted but you can also have problems. When the bootloader crack comes out, is when I will revist thinking about getting this phone.

I just got my GS4 on May 1 so I'm still within my 14 day return policy. I have 7.92 gb left after loading up the goods. The question is, do I now exchange it for the 32 gb model? It would have almost been easier for me if this would have been released after my exchange period is up. Also, I bought mine at Best Buy. What are the chances they will get in the 32 gb models before my return period is up?

Just returned my 16GB model at AT&T and they gave me a shitty Go-Phone for free until Friday. Had to pay the $35 dollar restocking fee, but AT&T corporate credited my account $65 bucks to make up for all the hassle. Hopefully they'll go up for pre-order soon. Just glad AC posted this when they did because today was my last day to return it.

I am just off contract on Verizon and am patiently awaiting a 32GB GS4. I am going to give Verizon until the end of the month, but if they do not come forward with the 32GB model, I will jump to a carrier that does.
